The spiritual successor to ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s large snowy vehicular map [[Sidewinder]], Avalanche is the ''Halo'' trilogy's then-second-largest multiplayer map. All [[Human]] vehicles on this map are snow-camouflaged, and two vehicles, the [[Hornet]] and the [[Scorpion]] tank, are now available on this map in Matchmaking. However, the Hornet, which was a Transport Hornet, was "toned down" for Matchmaking due to balance issues. Avalanche was codenamed ''Cottonball''. | |||

The remake of the popular ''[[Halo 2]]'' map; [[Lockout]], Blackout was designed with a human theme layout unlike its predecessor Lockout, which had a [[Forerunner]] theme instead. However, they were both based in cold climates. Blackout's setting is an abandoned drill platform in the Arctic, and has spectacular views of icy oceans and glacial formations. Blackout has a few spawn point changes that differ from Lockout. Blackout was codenamed ''Moonlight Sonata''. | |||

An entirely new map as announced by Bungie, Ghost Town bears a slight resemblance to the ''Halo 2'' map, [[Turf]]. The map also may remind some players of a map of another popular FPS game, Counterstrike, due to its human-themed layout. Ghost Town was codenamed ''O.K. Corral''. | An entirely new map as announced by Bungie, Ghost Town bears a slight resemblance to the ''Halo 2'' map, [[Turf]].
